<p>i could be wrong, but you sound confused. you say "atheists don't <em>need</em> to reach it" (emphasis mine) as though it's even an option. by rule, atheists have no need for any higher power. so i'm not sure where you're coming from here.</p>
<p></p>
<p>i'm not trying to insult you, i'm just not familiar with this train of thought among non-believers. </p>

<p><span><span><span>of course. and as an atheist, i can say it's surprising that you hold some views that seem unusual to me. perhaps you're something of an outlier in atheist thinking, or perhaps i'm misunderstand you, or perhaps i'm the outlier. </span></span></span></p>

<p>i see no need for a God replacement. you mentioned space, but atheists often pour themselves into nature, the arts, or whatever they're into. why waste time on thinking about some Being that we already know isn't there? i see no reason to use a higher power as a catalyst, and i'm surprised that any atheist would think along those lines. </p>

<p>This type of behavior has a genetic mark (production of the Mono Amine Oxidase protein) associated with an individual's level of risk aversion. High levels of MAO tends toward a person that are very cautious and risk adverse , low key, shy, loner, often depressed. At the other extreme are high risk takers, impulsive, engages in extreme sports - base jumping, wing suits, kayaking rivers in flood stage, free climbers and, certainly, risking quick death on a high wire walking over a friggin,…</p>

<p>Many of the Wallenda's have died in high-wire accidents, including Karl Wallenda, who started it all and died in 1978 at age 73, so it's not at all clear they have had divine help—at least not consistently. They work without a net and it is the prospect of their falling that adds spice to their act.</p>

<p>Actually, while it was annoying to listen to, I can kind of understand the incessant invocation to a god of one sort or another. After all, the guy had his ass balanced 1,400+ feet above a river gorge with no net. One slip up, and he would resemble a grease spot on the concrete floor of Sling Blade's small engine repair shop.</p>
<p>What I did find absolutely disgusting was the presence of con-artist, snake oil salesman, and bouffant haired rip-off artist of old women's social security…</p>

<p>What I did find absolutely disgusting was the presence of con-artist, snake oil salesman, and bouffant haired rip-off artist of old women's social security checks, being the one and only Joel Osteen. As they were praying before he made the crossing, Osteen had his faced so crunched up, I wanted to hand him a hand full of laxatives. Then, after Wallenda got to the other side, there was Osteen mugging for the camera with a grin on his face reminiscent of a possum eating shit. I can only imagine he was already counting all the money he will swindle by claiming his intercession with JC kept Wallenda alive.</p> lol. good point. i failed t…tag:atheistnexus.org,2013-06-24:2182797:Comment:22578832013-06-24T15:00:47.456Zmatthew greenberghttp://atheistnexus.org/profile/matthewgreenberg
